Why to join DofE...

Good question!

Because from the first day to the last it’s a real adventure.  Every section gives you something different - that's the fun of it!

You’ll enjoy loads of new experiences, discover talents you never thought you had, challenge yourself and meet loads of people just like you.  Plus you’ll do things you love and get a kick out of.  It’s a real buzz!

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award at EDUCAnet Praha

Welcome to EUCAnet Praha Duke of Edinburgh's Award blog. Use this site for information regarding all things about DofE at our School including information regarding expeditions as well as opportunities within the School to complete the sections of the Award.

What is the DofE Award all about?

A DofE programme is a real adventure from beginning to end. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from. You just need to be aged between 14 and 24 and realise there’s more to life than sitting on a sofa watching life pass you by.

Levels

You can do programmes at three levels, which when completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

Sections

You achieve your Award by completing a personal programme of activities in four sections (five if you're going for Gold) - Volunteering, Physical, Skills, Expedition and for Gold, a Residential.

You'll find yourself helping people or the community, getting fitter, developing skills, going on an expedition and taking part in a residential activity (Gold only).

Your programme can be full of activities and projects that motivate you, and along the way you’ll pick up experiences, friends and talents that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

DofE at EDUCAnet Praha School

Currently, EDUCAnet Praha as a DofE local centre, runs the Bronze and Silver levels of the programme. Ms Horváthová and Ms Novotná coordinate DofE to guide and supervise participants through their awards.

If you are interested in applying for a place at EDUCAnet Praha School it is recommended that you take the time to research and really understand what is required to achieve each level. Completing your DofE award at any level is great fun and well worthwhile but you must consider that it requires hard work and commitment.

This blog is a good place to start and will provide you with information relevant to participants completing their DofE at EDUCAnet Praha School. If you would like further information DofE provides a very useful website at http://www.dofe.org/ or http://www.dofe.cz/en/
